How Many Calories Should I Eat Each Day? What’s a Healthy Rate of Weight Loss?

The Biggest Loser Weight Loss Plan recommends a meal plan based on your body weight. The goal is for you to eat enough to feel strong, avoid feeling any gnawing hunger sensations, and to lose weight at a steady rate. When your body burns more calories than the total number of calories you eat and drink each day, you will lose weight.

How does your body burn calories? It burns calories in three ways:

  • Resting metabolism or RMR
  • Daily activity
  • Exercise

Most people burn 1200-2000 calories every day through the RMR without any activity or exercise.

When you DO NOT eat enough calories to support your RMR, your body can resist weight loss, making weight loss more difficult! The most effective way to lose weight is to eat enough of the right foods, exercise, stay consistent with an eating schedule and be patient.

A healthy rate of weight loss is 1/2 pound to 2 pounds or up to 1% of your body weight each week. Weight loss that exceeds more than a couple of pounds each week may consist of a significant amount of water weight. The BLC goal is to help you establish a healthy plan so that you lose fat and not muscle.
